"Hey, kid, where did that man and woman run off to?" one of the four pursuers snarled viciously.

The Zergling humanoid narrowed his eyes. "This is my young master's territory. Intruders die!"

"Courting death!" The man who had spoken roared and threw a punch at the Zergling humanoid. The force of his fist was tremendous; if it landed, the Zergling humanoid would have no chance of survival.

However, at that very moment, "Boom! Boom!" Two enormous spikes suddenly burst out of the ground!

The fighter who had thrown the punch was completely unprepared. Though his battle-honed instincts allowed him to dodge the instant the spikes emerged, the sharp spike still rose along his waist, carving a long bloody gash from his leg to his waist!

The man cried out miserably and stumbled back three steps, staring at the Zergling humanoid in terror. "A-a mage?"

Ye Yi, Ye Di, Ye Ci, and Ye Meng appeared before the four men, grinning ferociously at them. Ye Yi clasped his hands together. "If I were you, I'd turn around and run immediately. That way, you might still get to keep your lives..."

The injured warrior glared at the four of them hatefully. "We are generals under the Hiller City Lord, under orders to capture the traitors of Morton Territory. If you dare stop us, you will be making enemies of the entire Morton Territory!"

Ye Meng turned his head and cracked his knuckles. "Ye Yi, I told you already—why waste words with them? Just wipe them out!"

Ye Yi shook his head and looked at the four men pityingly. "We gave you a chance. You're the ones courting death!"

The oldest of the four drew the two sharp axes from his back. "Brat, don't think you can look down on everyone just because you have some strength. Think carefully—is it worth becoming enemies with all of Morton for two traitors?"

"So noisy. Kill them!" Ye Meng barked, transforming into an afterimage as he charged the axe-wielding expert. Ye Yi's body flashed and vanished, turning into a speck of dust before kicking the already wounded man flying...

Three hundred meters away, Ye Luo looked at the so-called traitor of Morton and could not help swallowing.

Her golden hair fell straight down, making her both alluring and pure. Her exquisite face and tempting lips stirred the most primal desires within Ye Luo. Especially with her figure accentuated by the tight combat suit, and her delicate collarbones exposed at the neckline, he could not help wanting to tear open that combat suit and reveal that heaven-crafted body before his eyes.

"Gulp..." In the silent space, Ye Luo's swallow sounded especially loud. Yet his skin was thicker than a city wall, and he did not blush in the slightest. A great sage of China had once said that appetite and lust were human nature. Craving beauty was humanity's instinct, and now that Ye Luo controlled a super civilization and had become the emperor of a race, there was even less reason for him to suppress his desires! If he were not worried that revealing his strength too soon would draw the pursuit of this planet's powerful figures, Ye Luo would not have minded filling a harem with three thousand beauties on this planet...

"You're the Morton City Lord's daughter. Who are the people chasing you?"

The girl looked at the mysterious man before her as though she had seized her final lifeline. "They're from Hiller's main city. Hiller City is a newly risen main city within our Morton Territory. Hiller used to be one of my father's great generals. My father trusted him deeply. He rendered great service, so my father rewarded him with a main city. But who would have thought that his ambitions were so great? He actually wanted to replace my father and become Morton's sole lord. As long as you're willing to help me, you may choose anything you want from Morton's treasury."

Ye Luo pondered for a moment before asking, "How many mineral veins does Morton Territory have?"

"Mineral veins?" The girl was clearly taken aback, but she quickly recovered and answered, "Five. One large vein, two medium veins, and two small veins..."

"I want the mining rights to the large vein—complete mining rights, for one year! Agree, and I'll help you. Refuse, and you can leave..." As he spoke, Ye Luo's gaze swept over the girl's body without the slightest restraint...

The girl said in disbelief, "That's impossible. Mining a large mine must be done under the kingdom's supervision, and tribute must be handed in regularly. If we let you mine freely, the kingdom will certainly punish us..."

Ye Luo shook his head. "Beauty, that isn't our concern. Right now, we're making a deal. Only if you meet our demands can we provide the corresponding service..."

The girl struggled for a moment, then fiercely bit her red lip. That movement made desire blaze fiercely in Ye Luo's lower abdomen. "One month. At most, I can secure one month for you..."

Ye Luo stared intently at her, his eyes as dazzling as stars filled with appreciation. "Fine. One month it is..." The right corner of Ye Luo's mouth rose slightly. One month? Once that month was up, it would be hard to say who the entire kingdom belonged to, let alone this mineral vein...

The girl let out a breath of relief. For some reason, although she could not see Ye Luo's level, she felt a heartfelt sense of security from him. As for whether Ye Luo had the power to help them suppress Hiller City's rebellion, she no longer had the leisure to think about it... Or rather, she no longer had any way out... She could only treat a dead horse as if it were alive...

Ye Luo walked over to the old man and looked at the enormous wound in his abdomen. He raised his right hand, and a great amount of white light immediately coiled around his palm. The white light resembled countless tiny sprites, flying without scattering...

"As allies, I'll first give you two great gifts. The first!" Ye Luo gently covered the old man's wound with his right hand, and the white motes immediately gathered toward it! The fatal wound actually began healing at a speed visible to the naked eye...

"Th-this is impossible!" No one understood the severity of the old man's injuries better than himself. The only reason he had survived until now was because he had stubbornly held onto his last breath. Yet now, he could clearly feel the immense vitality emanating from the wound in his abdomen. That vitality was so powerful that not only did it completely heal the fatal wound, even the hidden injuries left behind from past battles slowly began to disappear...

Ye Luo withdrew his hand and looked toward the girl. She was staring at everything before her in disbelief. "In this world, nothing is impossible, isn't that right? And the second gift is..."

"Snap..." Ye Luo snapped his fingers. "Thud, thud..." Four heads fell from the sky. Looking closely, were they not the four Silver Warriors who had been pursuing them earlier?

"Y-you... who are you?" the girl asked in a trembling voice. At that moment, Ye Luo's incomparably powerful strength finally left her utterly shocked.

Ye Luo looked at Ye Yi and the other three as they approached. "Me? My name is Ye Luo. Right now, I am naturally your most loyal ally... So, beautiful miss, may I know your name?"

"I-I'm Angelina..." The girl looked at the four heads at her feet, still unable to believe it. Those four were Hiller's loyal subordinates, immensely powerful in battle. They had fought together for years and worked together flawlessly. Even four ordinary peak Silver Warriors would not have been their match...

Yet in the time it took to exchange only a few words, the four of them had already been separated from their bodies?
